Communication or Lack There Of

Men, I just don't understand them and don't ever think I will. I really and truly believe that they imagine conversations in their heads or at night they dream about the situation and believe that they actually had this conversation in real life. So let me tell you one of MANY conversations that go this way, this one just happened about 30 minutes ago...

We will start with last week, maybe Tuesday or Wednesday the boy comes home for lunch and tells me one of two things. One of them is that we were invited to one of his friends for a BBQ this Sunday and that he hasn't responded to him yet. We talked how we were really busy this weekend because of it being the holiday weekend and the fact I am very much NOT a fan of this person. We both remember the part where I said, "Oh, do we really have to go?" And him trying to tempt me by stating they have a Wii. Please remember this was the first, last and ONLY conversation about this BBQ and the last statement was, "Well, I haven't responded yet I don't know if I want to go." Now, flash forward to today, the day of the BBQ. The boy comes in at a quarter to 12 and says, "two o'clock." Now I have not a single clue what he is talking about, thinking maybe he wants to go to the movies or something since it was mentioned yesterday and his words were kinda nonexistent. I respond with, "What? What is at two o'clock?" We need to be at "friends" house at two. So now I am wondering when WE decided on going. I ask him this and he says we talked about going. He took the little conversation I mentioned above as us deciding to go but I keep thinking to myself, no way could he have come to that conclusion from that simple conversation above. Surely if it was decided that we were going to go I would have asked the following, "What time is it at? How long do we have to stay?"(again, NOT a fan!) and "Do we need to bring anything?" Surely him knowing that I like order and having a plan would have asked those questions. Surely he would have asked if I wanted to go since he knows how much I disapprove of this individual. Nope, none of those questions were asked, just the simple convo I mentioned above was all the boy needed to come to the conclusion that WE decided on going. I really feel he had a conversation with me in his own head! Where do men come up with this stuff? Maybe it is me...Nah, couldn't possibly be me!

Oh boy! I know exactly what you mean. Guys are definitely different. Under my breath the other day I said to Bill(which yes, I should have stopped myself from saying this) Now I know why some women are Lesbian. Not that I have ANY desire, but you know what I mean. Women just think!

Haha, Brit! My mother and I have had that conversation. Men are VERY different. Don't think and are not logical. I know what you meant, I think every women knows what you mean.

Oh my goodness...Thank you for posting this. I am SO sure! I don't know where men come from sometimes! Brit, I know what you mean...somedays I think I'd be better off being single the rest of my life. Then reality sets in and tells me I really want to have kids someday and I want them to have a dad. I guess we have to put up with this for the rest of time. I wish it were different!
